Shoulda Coulda

The fabric of life will unravel
When reversing in time travel
The wrinkles of both time and space
Will grow upon your sleepless face
You know, maybe I should have cooled my jets
I'd be the one right now with no regrets
Shoulda coulda woulda taken your advice
The story goes of men and mice but

Hey, they say the way to stay on top of your game's to never let them see you sweat
But oh you know, it's just a big show as you lower slowly into regret
Shoulda cleaned my plate coulda had a V8
Why create this state of our lives by opening my big mouth
It's all gone so fast, why did I think that this would last
But now like a fool, I search the miniscule for a better past

I withdraw from your deposit
Skeletons pile in my closet
Oh the things I do to ease the pain
I must confess, they are so insane
If I counted all the hours that I spend reopening wounds that are on the mend
Time to look ahead and move on for Pete's sake, for future gains on dumb mistakes but

Hey, they say the way to stay on top of your game's to never let them see you sweat
But oh you know, it's just a big show as you lower slowly into regret
Shoulda cleaned my plate coulda had a V8
Why create this state of our lives by opening my big mouth
It's all gone so fast, why did I think that this would last
But now like a fool, I search the miniscule for a better past

Desperation's a curious thing
You will reach out for anything
Power corrupts
Well that's what they say
But it's the fear of losing power that will wreck your day
Now if I can just let go and give up my need to know
Focus on a bright forecast
Instead of being stuck here hoping for a better past
